Does anyone else notice the vog in HPP today?
I find the air quality maps frustrating because they're not all that local. For example the NPS one linked below indicates levels near the sources but not down here. It says that depending on winds, etc. the sulfur dioxide can even be worse in other locations than up there. Sure seems bad today and yet Pu`uho (recorded at Jaggar Museum) is shown as moderate and Halema`uma`u (recorded at Visitor Center) is good. I do see a couple spikes to unhealthy rating (red) at Visitor Center around 9:30 and 10:30...guess that explains it, that and the trade winds have been pretty still.

I read if you mix baking soda into water, soak a rag in it and then hang the rag on a fan, it helps to break down the SO2 in the air...am thinking an A/C in office wouldn't be a bad idea either! At least for the winter when it gets bad here.
